Glowing Tropical Buildings
Somehow buildings can look exceptionally glamourous in the dark night sky here in the tropics. In Phuket we have clear skies much of the year the contrast with the light and dark seems just about perfect!

Behind this Door!
This fabulous new GREEN home has been built high in the hills of Phuket facing Phang Nai Bay.
Named damazAmya the owners hired an architectural firm from Malaysia specializing in green, contemporary design. Design Unit
The understanding of materials, their inherent textures and how they compliment each other in this very subtle palate is extremely sophisticated. There is no 'Mock Wat' permeiating this design just a gorgeous fusion of contemporary architecture with subtle Thai influenced accents, strong originality at it's best!

Opening Doors - Cheers to The New Year!
This is probably one of the most incredible doors ever. Blocks of Burmese teak with pulleys, ballbearings and a single pivot point create a living sculpture. Located in India, I wonder what the rest of the house looks like? Hopefully some more details will crop up on the web.
Note the sculptures on the underside of the stairs. This is a house to discover! ( images courtesy of
